Review of Run Fatboy Run (2007) by Jamie I — 26 Jun 2016

Seriously, man ass is always funny.  Where am I going with this you wonder?  Run Fatboy Run has plenty of man ass to go around.  Dennis (Simon Pegg) leaves his pregnant fiance, Libby (Thandie Newton) at the alter.  Five years later he's got a slight tummy and he's a security guard for a woman's clothing shop.  Things are okay until Whit (Hank Azaria) comes into Libby's life and well he's everything Dennis is not, handsome, rich, a strapping lad which you see in all his glory.  I'm sure you know that if you've seen Along Came Polly.  Hank Azaria has an awesome body but I shouldn't get off point here.  So Dennis decides to run the same marathon as Whit to prove to Libby that he can finish something if not his sentences.

Examples:

Dennis's running "shorts".

How Gordon hangs out at home.

"Full English Breakfast with extra breakfast!".

"He has a son!  Did you know he had a son?".

"The only serious relationship I've been in ended in a broken collarbone and a dead meerkat.".

"Scrotal zone".

"Hey do you think it would be weird if I took a bath?".

Beware of the blister scene.  Extra gross out.

You might (like I did) cream yourself upon seeing Whit's flat.

I love Simon Pegg and don't get me wrong but I feel the real star of this is Dennis's best friend and Libby's cousin Gordon (Dylan Moran).  You might remember him as "GET FUCKED, FOUR EYES!" aka David (or Davs) from Shaun of the Dead.  He is beyond wacky and funny in this film.
